VANITY CASE.

Application filed January To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, SIMON A. JARosLAwsni-Fronm", a citizen of Poland,and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in thecounty and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved VanityCase, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to vanity cases, an object of the invention beingto provide a neat and attractive case which may contain either loosepowder or compact, and which will function with equal facility when usedeither with powder or compact.

A further object is to provide a vanity case having an improvedconstruction of body in which a receptacle is removably held in place bya hinged ring, the latter adapted to contain a perforated disk which maybe removed as occasion may require.

A further object is to provide a vanity case, which can be manufacturedand sold at a reasonably low price, which will be small and compact, andwhich will most efficiently perform the functions for which it isintended. With these and other objects in view, the invention consistsin certain novel features of construction and combinations andarrangements of parts which will be more fully hereinafter described andpointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a plan view showing myimproved vanity case with the cover moved to open position;

Figure 2 is a view in section on an enlarged scale on the line 22 ofFigure 1;

Figure 3 is a view in section on an enlarged scale on the line 3-3 of Fl1, the perforated plate being omitted and a compact shown in thereceptacle.

1 represents the body of my improved vanity case, and 2 the covertherefor which is hingedly connected at one edge as shown at 8 and isadapted to be held in closed position by means of any suitable catch 4.The cover 3 preferably contains a mirror 5 which is accessible for usewhen the cover is opened.

The body 1 has its lower portion or bottom 6 of general concavo-convexshape. Externally the bottom is convex, and in this bottom a pan'orreceptacle 7 is located and has a concavo-convex bottom conforming in a,1925. Serial no. 1,255.

shape to the bottom 6 so as to rest snugly and smoothly thereon.

Inthe upper portion of the body 1 a normally fixed ring 8 is mounted.lihis ring 8 is preferably stamped fromsuitable material, and while itis normally fixed it is capable of being removed from the casing.

As a convenient means of holding the ring in the casing 1 have shown thering as provided with outwardly stamped tongues 9 which engage under theshoulders 10 on the body portion 1, although other means for holding thering 8 may, of course, be employed.

Within this ring 8 a. movable or hinged ring 11 is provided. This ring11 is connected to the ring 8 by means of a hinge 12 and is provided ata point opposite the hinge 12 with a Ushaped spring catch 13 adapted tobe projected through a slot 14: in ring 8 to hold the ring 11 in closedposition.

The pan or receptacle 7 above referred to is of a diameter to snugly fitwithin a depending flange 15 on ring 8, and the ring 11 is of angularform in cross section so that its depending flange 16 engages the insideof the pan or receptacle 7 and holds the latter firmly in place.

This pan or receptacle 7 may contain loose powder, as indicated by thereference numeral 17, and in such case I provide a perforated coverplate 18 over the pan or receptacle. This plate 18 is formed with anydesired number of perforated depressions 19, and the edge of the plateis bent inwardly and then downwardly, forming an annular flange 20 whichfits snugly within the ring 11. When the device contains loose powder,the powder may find outlet through the perforations 19 by shaking orotherwise manipulating the vanity case.

As in Figure 3,-the plate 18 may be removed and a compact 21 located inthe pan or receptacle 7 and held therein by engage, ment of the ring 11with the compact.

It will thus be noted" that with my improved vanity case' either loosepowder or compact may be employed, and in either case the device willfunction equally well.

The parts are so constructed and arranged as to be readily movable orremovable and a convenience of assemblage is had.

Various slight changes and alterations might be made in the general formof the parts described Without departing from the invention, and hence Ido not limit myself to the precise details set forth but consider.myself at liberty to make such sli ht changes and alterations as fairlyfall Wit in the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A vanity ease, comprising a body, a ring fitting the body and forminga portion of the top thereof, a second ring hinged to the first-namedring, means for holding the hinged ring in closed position, a receptaclein the body having its upper edge located between the two rings, and acover for the receptacle.

2. A vanity case, comprising a body, a ring fitting the body and forminga portion of the top thereof, a second ring hinged to the first-namedring, means for holding the hinged ring in closed position, a receptaclein the body having its upper edge located between the two rings, a coverfor the reeeptaele, the bottom, of said body being out wardly curved,and a mirror in said cover.

3.
